At the end of the Street of Facades,in the upper row of the western Jabal al-Khubtha slope is the famous Uneishu tomb.The tomb (20 m height and 12 m width) with facade decoration of the Hegra type consists of a principal order which is supported by two pilasters with Nabataean capitals.The door,reached by three steps and flanked by two very narrow pillars supporting an entablature,is optically enlarged by a second frame of pilasters with engaged quarter columns and triangular pediment,where three acroterion bases can still be seen.The almost square funeral chamber has three loculi in the back wall and four loculi in each of the side walls. Another loculus can be seen on the exterior right wall carved very high.
